SECTION B - SUPPLIES OR SERVICES AND OFFEROR'S PRICES

The United States District Court for the District of Nebraska is soliciting a vendor to provide substance abuse,

mental health, and/or sex offender treatment services. A Vendor must be capable of providing services within a

geographic area encompassing Douglas and Sarpy County.

As a result of this solicitation the Government intends to enter into a Blanket Purchase Agreement (BPA). For

this BPA, approximately 1 to 2 vendors are needed to provide the required services. The Government reserves

the right to award to a single vendor.

A Blanket Purchase Agreement is a “charge account” arrangement, between a buyer and a seller for recurring

purchases of services. BPAs are not contracts and do not obligate government funds in any way. A contract

occurs upon the placement of a call or referral from the Probation/Pretrial Services Office and the vendor’s

acceptance of the referral. Referrals will be rotated among all the vendors on the BPA. BPAs are valid for a

specific period of time, not to extend beyond the current fiscal year. The total duration of this BPA, including

the exercise of two 12-month options, shall not exceed 36 months. BPAs will be issued to those vendors

determined to be technically acceptable and offering the lowest cost to the Government, using the Evaluation

Criteria established in Section M of the Request for Proposal.

Section B is generic and used nationwide to procure the particular needs of each U. S. Probation/Pretrial

Services Office. For this solicitation, only those services marked by an "X" under the Required Services

column are being solicited. Offerors shall propose on only the required services. Services proposed, but not

marked as required, will not be evaluated or included under any resultant agreement. Offerors failing to provide

offers on all required services marked, will be considered technically unacceptable.

Note: Estimated Monthly Quantities (EMQs) represent the total monthly quantities to be ordered per

Service item under the BPA. Each vendor placed on the BPA may receive a share of the total quantity stated.

However, EMQ’s are estimates only and do not bind the government to meet these estimates.

An asterisk * indicates a requirement line item which has been modified under “Local Services.”

6. Deliverables

a. Defendant/Offender Records and Conferences

(1) File Maintenance


The vendor shall:

contract/agreement. If information is maintained electronically, the

vendor shall make a hard copy of all files available for review

immediately upon request of the USPO/USPSO or designee.

(b) Segregate defendant/offender files from other vendor records. This will

facilitate monitoring and promote defendant/offender confidentiality.

(c) Keep a separate file for each defendant/offender.

(d) Create a separate file when a defendant on pretrial services supervision is

sentenced to probation supervision, but continued in treatment with the

vendor. The vendor may copy any information relevant from the pretrial

services file and transfer it into the probation file, except for information

covered under the Pretrial Services Confidentiality Regulations. The

vendor and its subcontractors are authorized to access criminal history

information available in pretrial services or probation records that have

been provided by the USPO/USPSO. This information is provided solely

for the purpose of providing services under this contract. Any

unauthorized re-disclosure of this information may result in termination

of this contract and the imposition of civil penalties.

(e) Identify any records that disclose the identity of a defendant/offender as

CONFIDENTIAL.

(f) Keep all defendant/offender records for three years after the final

payment is received for Judiciary inspection and review, except for

performing pretrial services that is shared with the vendor will be

confidential pretrial services information. Only a judicial officer or a

Chief USPO/USPSO may authorize disclosure of pretrial services

information to a third party pursuant to the Pretrial Services

Confidentiality Regulations. Any doubts about whether a potential

disclosure concerns pretrial services information must be resolved by

consultation with the USPO/USPSO.

(7) The vendor and its subcontractors are authorized to access criminal

history information available in pretrial services or probation records that


have been provided by the USPO/USPSO. This information is provided

solely for the purpose of providing services under this contract. Any

unauthorized re-disclosure of this information may result in termination

of this contract and the imposition of civil penalties.

(8) Ensure that all persons having access to or custody of defendant/offender

records follow the disclosure and confidentiality requirements of this

agreement and federal law.

are not amended remain unchanged. Offerors shall acknowledge receipt of any

amendment to this solicitation by the date and time specified in the amendment(s). An

offeror’s failure to acknowledge amendments affecting price, quantity, quality or delivery

may result in the offeror’s proposal being determined unacceptable where award is made

without discussions.

(c) Submission, modification, revision, and withdrawal of offers

(1) Unless other methods (e.g., electronic commerce or facsimile) are permitted in the

solicitation, offers and modifications to offers shall be submitted in paper media

in sealed envelopes or packages (i) addressed to the office specified in the

solicitation, and (ii) showing the time and date specified for receipt, the

(i) the solicitation number;

(ii) the name, address, and telephone and facsimile numbers of the offeror

behalf with the judiciary in connection with this solicitation; and

(v) name, title, and signature of person authorized to sign the offer. Offers

signed by an agent shall be accompanied by evidence of that agent's

authority, unless that evidence has been previously furnished to the issuing

office.

(3) Submission, modification, revision, and withdrawal of offers

(i) Offerors are responsible for submitting offers, and any modifications or

revisions, so as to reach the judiciary office designated in the solicitation

by the time specified in the solicitation. If no time is specified in the

solicitation, the time for receipt is 4:30 p.m., local time, for the designated

judiciary office on the date that offer or revision is due.

(ii) (A) Any offer, modification, or revision received at the judiciary office

designated in the solicitation after the exact time specified for

receipt of offers is "late" and will not be considered unless it is

received before award is made, the contracting officer determines

it’s in the judiciary’s best interest, the contracting officer

determines that accepting the late offer would not unduly delay the

procurement, and:

(1) if it was transmitted through an electronic commerce

method authorized by the solicitation, it was received at the

initial point of entry to the judiciary infrastructure not later

than 5:00 p.m. one working day prior to the date specified

for receipt of offers; or

(2) there is acceptable evidence to establish that it was received

at the judiciary installation designated for receipt of offers

and was under the judiciary’s control prior to the time set

for receipt of offers; or

(3) it is the only offer received.

(ii) (B) However, a late modification of an otherwise successful offer that

makes its terms more favorable to the judiciary, will be considered

at any time it is received and may be accepted.

(iii) Acceptable evidence to establish the time of receipt at the judiciary

installation includes the time/date stamp of that installation on the offer

wrapper, other documentary evidence of receipt maintained by the

installation, or oral testimony or statements of judiciary personnel.

(iv) If an emergency or unanticipated event interrupts normal judiciary

processes so that offers cannot be received at the office designated for

receipt of offers by the exact time specified in the solicitation, and urgent

judiciary requirements preclude amendment of the solicitation, the time

specified for receipt of offers will be deemed to be extended to the same

time of day specified in the solicitation on the first work day on which

normal judiciary processes resume.


(v) Offers may be withdrawn by written notice received at any time before

award. Oral offers in response to oral solicitations may be withdrawn

orally. If the solicitation authorizes facsimile offers, offers may be

withdrawn via facsimile received at any time before award, subject to the

conditions specified in Provision 3-115, “Facsimile Offers.” Offers may

be withdrawn in person by an offeror or an authorized representative, if

the identity of the person requesting withdrawal is established and the

person signs a receipt for the offer before award.

(4) Unless otherwise specified in the solicitation, the offeror may propose to provide

any item or combination of items.

(5) Offerors shall submit offers in response to this solicitation in English and in U.S.

officer.

(8) Offers may be withdrawn at any time before award. Withdrawals are effective

upon receipt of notice by the contracting officer.

(d) Offer expiration date Offers in response to this solicitation will be valid for the number

of days specified on the solicitation cover sheet (unless a different period is proposed by

the offeror).

(e) Restriction on disclosure and use of data Offerors that include in their offers data that

they do not want disclosed to the public for any purpose, or used by the judiciary except

for evaluation purposes, shall:

(1) mark the title page with the following legend:

This offer includes data that shall not be disclosed outside the judiciary and shall

not be duplicated, used, or disclosed-in whole or in part-for any purpose other

than to evaluate this offer. If, however, a contract is awarded to this offeror as a

result of-or in connection with-the submission of this data, the judiciary shall have

the right to duplicate, use, or disclose the data to the extent provided in the

resulting contract. This restriction does not limit the judiciary's right to use

information contained in this data if it is obtained from another source without

restriction. The data subject to this restriction are contained in sheets [insert

numbers or other identification of sheets]; and

(2) mark each sheet of data it wishes to restrict with the following legend:


Use or disclosure of data contained on this sheet is subject to the restriction on the

title page of this offer.

(f) Contract award

(1) The judiciary intends to award a contract or contracts resulting from this

solicitation to the responsible offeror(s) whose offer(s) represents the best value

after evaluation in accordance with the factors and subfactors in the solicitation.

(2) The judiciary may reject any or all offers if such action is in the judiciary's

interest.

(3) The judiciary may waive informalities and minor irregularities in offers received.

(4) The judiciary intends to evaluate offers and award a contract without discussions

with offerors (except clarifications). Therefore, the offeror's initial offer shall

contain the offeror's best terms from a price or price and technical standpoint.

The judiciary reserves the right to conduct discussions if the contracting officer

later determines them to be necessary. If the contracting officer determines that

the number of offers that would otherwise be in the competitive range exceeds

the number at which an efficient competition can be conducted, the contracting

officer may limit the number of offers in the competitive range to the greatest

number that will permit an efficient competition among the most highly rated

offers.

(5) The judiciary reserves the right to make an award on any item for a quantity less

than the quantity offered, at the unit price or prices offered, unless the offeror

specifies otherwise in the offer.

(6) The judiciary reserves the right to make multiple awards if, after considering the

additional administrative prices, it is in the judiciary's best interest to do so.

(7) Exchanges with offerors after receipt of an offer do not constitute a rejection or

counteroffer by the judiciary.

(8) The judiciary may determine that an offer is unacceptable if the prices proposed

are materially unbalanced between line items or sub-line items. Unbalanced

pricing exists when, despite an acceptable total evaluated price, the price of one or

more contract line items is significantly overstated or understated as indicated by

the application of price or price analysis techniques. An offer may be rejected if

the contracting officer determines that the lack of balance poses an unacceptable

risk to the judiciary.

(9) If a price realism analysis is performed, price realism may be considered by the

source selection authority in evaluating performance or schedule risk.

(10) A written award or acceptance of offer mailed or otherwise furnished to the

successful offeror within the time specified in the offer shall result in a binding

contract without further action by either party.


(11) The judiciary may disclose the following information in postaward debriefings to

other offerors:

(i) the overall evaluated price or price and technical rating of the successful

offeror;

(ii) the overall ranking of all offerors, when any ranking was developed by the

judiciary during source selection;

(iii) a summary of the rationale for award; and

(iv) for procurements of commercial items, the make and model of the item to

be delivered by the successful offeror.

(a) Determining Total Evaluated Price.--Multiply the Estimate Monthly Quantity

(EMQ) by 12 months to get a Yearly Quantity. Multiply that figure by the Unit

Price offered to arrive at the Total Evaluated Price for that service item. Yearly

prices of service items are totaled to arrive at Total Evaluated Price for each

offeror.

(b) Service items that are offered at “N/C” or No Charge, will be evaluated in the Life

of Agreement comparison by entering $0.00 for the unit price.

(c) Service items that are reimbursable at actual prices or at a travel regulation rate are

not considered in the price comparison.

(d) Service items not marked as required services will not be evaluated or considered.

M.5 Provision 2-85A Evaluation Inclusive of Options (JAN 2003)

for all options to the total price for the basic requirement. Evaluation of options

does not obligate the judiciary to exercise the option(s).

may be rejected. An unbalanced offer is one that is based on prices significantly

less than prices for some work and prices that are significantly overstated for

other work.

M.6 Clause 3-70 Determination of Responsibility (JAN 2003)

A determination of responsibility will be made on the apparent successful offeror prior to

contract award. If the prospective contractor is found non-responsible, that offeror will be

rejected and will receive no further consideration for award. In the event a contractor is rejected

based on a determination of non-responsibility, a determination will be made on the next

apparent successful offeror.
